In Year Admission

If you are looking for a place at the Academy because you have recently moved into the area, or your child is at another secondary school and you feel that a change of school would benefit their education and/or general wellbeing, you are entitled to apply for a school place. Please contact the Academy Admissions Officer to request an In-Year Admissions Form or download a copy at the bottom of the page. This form must be completed and returned to the Academy Admissions Officer.

Note: there is no guarantee that a place will be available but you have the right to appeal if you are declined a place and there is space in the year group.
